Popis: K-means algorithm is very well-known in large data sets of clustering. This algorithm is popular and more widely used for its easy implementation and fast working. However, it is well known that in the k-means algorithm, the user should specify the number of clusters in advance. In order to improve the performance of the K-means algorithm, various methods have been proposed. In this paper, has been presented an improved parameter less data clustering technique based on maximum distance of data and Lioyd k-means algorithm. The experimental results show that the use of new approach to defining the centroids, the number of iterations has been reduced where the improvement was 60%.
